I watched 12 Angry Men, I thought it was excellent. I never thought that you could have 12 actors that all give such an amazing performance. There's a lot of subtlety in their acting, and you can actually see these as real people, as opposed to actors portraying "real" people, which is what you find in most movies. That's the major thing, but the rest is good news to. The writting is excellent; it's well-paced, realistic, and grabs your attention from the get-go. It seems like this could have actually played out in real life. There's no larger than life hero, no terrible villain. Just people, who can't see eye to eye. It really never drags on, looks good in BW (though it's only on one set, and there's not really much that could be done with it, the lighting really adds a lot). I quite enjoyed this movie, and it's short and painfree to watch, so I'd be likely to watch it again. I also liked how everything was explained well, and we are, for the most part atleast, on a level playing field with the actors, since we do not know the truth. Oh yea, and I've now seen 25/25 of the first 25 movies on IMDB's list. I'm only 40/50 of the top 50 though :( . Got some watching to do. This week/end I'll be watching The Matador, The Manchurian Candidate (original), and possibly Basic.
